OT: At the risk of exhausting the patience of Elmer and the rest of the people who visit for investment opinions... As for the essay you cite, interesting. I would point out to you Jonathan Swift's essays concerning the English language in Elizabethan times. He was renowned not only for his masterpieces of literature, but also for his tireless and vociferous criticism of the destruction of the English language through its "low" uses by no less than the likes of Wlliam Shakespeare, who now is credited with well over 70% of the idiomatic phrases in the language today. Although impressed by your familiarity with Jonathan Swift, I wonder what point you were trying to make. As for the Gracian text, I assume it was taken in translation from the Spanish. It is not the language that sickens me; it is its meaning. Perhaps our Mr. InternationalGrandmaster, a man of the world no less, would wish to educate us as to alternate interpretations of this deeply troubling prose. While you were troubled by its meaning, I was bothered by the prose's vague'ness. It suggests a lack of intellectual sincerity. When someone throws such rubbish at me, I consider it an invitation to end debate. Perhaps that was International Grandmaster's intent.
